The Kulubá archaeological zone in Tizimín is in oblivion nowadays. The road is in terrible condition and has become impassable due to the rains. The gates at the entrances are closed, the area has overgrown weeds, and some Mayan objects exhibited in the museum have recently disappeared.
The municipal and state authorities planned a tourism project in the archaeological zone. Still, the National Institute of Anthrand History (INAH) did not authorize it.
In this regard, Mayor Pedro Couoh Suaste said that the state and municipal government planned to make a route between the archaeological zone, cenotes, and the El Cuyo community, but it did not materialize. Today, the site is in oblivion, and the road became impassable after the rains.
The three access gates to the archaeological zone are closed at all times. Furthermore, the surroundings of the ruins look covered in overgrown weeds. They did not clean the area for the holiday season and did not open to tourism.
Some Mayan relics inside the museum recently disappeared, confirming the abandonment of the Kulubá archaeological zone.
He pointed out that the state government wanted a Parador-type parking lot built, but it did not happen. The City Council proposed to build a connecting road between the San Manuel Kilómetro 11 community and Kulubá since it is a passage for tourists arriving from Quintana Roo to go to El Cuyo, but the INAH did not authorize it.
The mayor added the project was possible, and they even measured the road distance. They presented the proposal to Governor Mauricio Vila Dosal, and he accepted.
Unfortunately, without the approval of the INAH, the rescue could not be carried out even though there is tourism potential since they planned a route between the archaeological zone, cenotes, and El Cuyo, commented the mayor. They are still waiting for the intervention of the INAH in the center of Tizimín since part of a building located behind the Tres Santos Reyes parish is about to collapse. The municipal authorities cannot intervene because it is the property of the INAH. The restrictive tapes and cones are in place. Deterioration still represents a risk because the building can collapse and cause accidents.
